Black,lasting creamy brown head.Nice roast/mocha nose.Somewhat dry roasted profile, slightly thin.

I had a taster at yhe Brewhouse in Whistler. This stout had a too special caracter for me.

(Draught) Sampled at the brewpub. Pours a deep brown body with a thin, creamy beige head. Nose of wood and sour milk. Flavour is nutty and ripe with some pine. Better than their main line of beers but I’d not want to be drinking this all night. 6/4/7/3/13

Dark chestnut brown pour, with a lively brown head that takes a few minutes to settle because of the nitro. Low aroma of bitter chocolate and coffee. Creamy smooth nitro palate of woody charred roast, bitter chocolate, and coffee. The finish is rather short with low bitterness. I think this would deliver more impact and character if they got rid of the nitro. I realize that the Dirty Miner Stout is rated as a nitro stout also, but I’m pretty sure the taphandle that this was pulled from read Black Diamond....

Wood smoke, caramel and forest on the nose. Smells inviting. Will it be an over-sugared microbrew disaster? Not entirely! Delicious. Freshly roasted cashews and hazelnuts. Hot-off-the-stove barley wraps the mouth. Finish is heaven with 70% belgian dark chocolate that hits hard and fades fast leaving you wanting another pint! Well done!
